Elder Connor Robertson Atlanta Georgia North Mission

  Hello Everyone!  It has been another great week. It seemed like everyday I was telling my companion how fast this week is going by. And now I am here writing this email. Even though I did last week.   Majority of this past week was running around to the appointments we set up. As every missionary know that means that most of them fell through, but we still had a great time. The people we were able to meet with, we had good conversations with them.  We started off our week by getting together as a Zone to play some basketball and some glow in the dark volleyball ball. Both were a fun time but let's just say that not much was actually glowing during the volleyball game. We did turn off all the lights and turned on a spot light that gave us just enough light to see the ball headed toward us.  The next day we had a quick service of laying down some hay for a member. At first I didn't know the best way to go about it, but then we quickly found out that th...

  Hello Everyone!  This week was great, with it's ups and downs, as usual.  We have been teaching our friend Michelle, and from the time I started to meet Michelle and now, I have noticed a change in her. She has become happier and remembers what she has learned from missionaries. When I asked if she new who the Prophet was, she said, "Russell M. Nelson, Duh!" We had a great laugh and I love that she knows that truth. She is and amazing person and doing so much so that she can be ready to be Baptized.  Another highlight was FHE, (Bible study) because thirteen people came to it. Thirteen is the most people I had ever seen at a Bible study. It was amazing to see people having fun and participating in the lesson. The Spirit was there and just brightened up my day. It's true that when we help others and forget about ourselves we become happier.   Many times we taught people by simply reading some scriptures or reading talks from the Prophet. I love teaching thi...

  Hello Everyone,  This week was good, and I still can't remember what happened so we will see how this email goes.  Let's start with Saturday because why not. We had a member ask us to come by and give a blessing to a family member of his who has been having some health problems. We went over to talked with him and then gave him a blessing. I remember feeling prompted to talk to him more about his faith. We talked to him more about his faith and inviting him to act more in faith. Later we heard that he was feeling better.  We were about to leave this members home but they told us that their neighbor (Shayla) wanted to talk to us and would be there soon. We have been meeting with Shayla recently and shared a copy of the Book of Mormon with her and her husband. She came and we were having a great conversation getting to know her more. Once again I felt prompted to speak up and talk about the Gospel. I shared the first thing that came to mind, the Easter message from t...

  Happy Easter!  It had been a great week but I can't even remember what happened thus past week, so this email will be different.  Let's talk about Holy week!  I loved studying about the last week of the Savior's mortal study. I never thought about what He did His last week with His friends and family, but I feel that I learned so much of who He is.  On Passover Thursday I got home and felt impressed to read the four accounts of the Savior's last supper and experience in the garden in the Four Gospels. I felt so much love for Christ and what He has done for me, but the most important thing that I felt was the spirit bringing peace into my life. Jesus Christ has been calming the storms of my life and allowing be to be still in peace.  That same night I read about how much the Savior was mocked and how lies were told about Him. Yet He never said a I'll word about any of His enemies. He Practiced what He preached. His enemies would cover His face an...

  Hello Brothers and Sisters,  Welcome the my email! I have looked forward to writing you with anticipation.  Thus past week was amazing! There was so much that happened and I loved most moments of it.  ★HIGHLIGHTS★  -General conference   -Elder Winters   -Facebook  -21st Birthday  ☆General conference  There was so much love and spirit filled knowledge. I loved learning and hearing for God's Servants. One of the best things was that we watched it with members. Somethings that stood out to me was the importance of Easter and this holy week. I have always loved Easter but now I have learned so much more about this event in history and it means everything to me. I especially didn't know the importance of Palms Sunday and how this is was the Savior's last week of His mortal ministry. I strive to keep this week more holy. The last session of conference we went to a member house for dinner and then we watched General conference. Join...

  Hello Everyone,  How is it the another Transfer is starting? I honestly want to know how time goes by so fast. If you do have an answer please write me, I am curious to hear what crazy explanation you have for this.  This week has been crazy, and I think I remember most of what happened this past week, but we will see.  I'll start off with Transfer news!  I'm staying and getting Elder Winters, and sadly Elder Kartchner is leaving me. He will be missed.  Something that I am grateful for is how the Gospel brings comfort to my life and to those that we teach. This is something that was reminded to me this past week as some friends of ours needed comfort. I know I can't give comfort to them but Christ can and does!  We had exchanges this past week and that was interesting. Probably the most interesting part was the Elder I was with has the same first name as me, and that was a first for me but it didn't affect any part of our day. While on exch...

  Hello Everyone,  I hope that this one makes up for last week's. Just know I am writing this a whole lot sooner. We'll see if it is actually good.  1.)This week was crazy fun, 2.)This week was overwhelming, 3.)This week was hard, 4.)This week was amazing,  1-4 all apply to the week that I have, and I couldn't decide how to start this weekly. Y'all get to decide instead.   I don't even know where to begin, I barely know what it happening in my area. I went on not one but two exchanges. Both times were out of my area. I had a fun time on exchanges and it had been a while since I have been on one. On both exchanges I learned how I could do better at being more energetic as I do the Lord's work when I don't feel as motivated. I'm doing okay at it, but I need to Elevate!  The times that I was on exchanges we would be going none stop between friends and members talking to everyone along the way. I love talking to everyone and meeting people that are friendl...
